🎙️ Welcome to The Bible Project Daily Podcast, where we journey together through the Bible—chapter by chapter, verse by verse.

In today’s episode, we continue exploring 1 Corinthians 1:18–2:5, a passage that cuts straight to the heart of the Christian faith: the message of the cross.

✍️ Episode Notes

Title: The Message of Christianity and Our Part in It.
Text: 1 Corinthians 1:26–2:5
 

🔑 Key Themes:

  • The cross divides humanity: some see foolishness; others, the power of God.
  • God overturns worldly wisdom by choosing the weak and lowly to display His glory.
  • Paul didn't come with polished rhetoric, but with a simple message: Jesus Christ and Him crucified.
  • True Christian unity flows from focusing on the message, not the messenger.

đź“– Key Verse:

“For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.”
—1 Corinthians 1:18

đź§  Reflect:

  • Do I evaluate faith based on outward impressiveness or inward truth?
  • Is my boast in Christ alone, or in Christian personalities and preferences?
